I have developed a descant recorder in 442 Hz which is modelled on the 415 recorder. It is somewhat more slender in the hand and in tone than its "big sister" and excels in brilliance of tone. Only available in european boxwood. |

I can truly say that this instrument was developed by me.The result is a recorder which thanks to the use of european boxwood., has the supple and brilliant tone of a baroque instrument. It responds easily and the high pitch makes it suitable for playing with other modern instruments. I also make it from european boxwood. Buy here |

Here again the original instrument is French. It is now part of Frans Bruggen's collection. I don't produce an exact copy. For the convenience of modern players I have added a modern double key and a double finger-hole at hole number 6. I make this recorder from Indian boxwood to prevent it from being too heavy. I use a traditional method of staining. Its tone is full and warm. Buy here |
Both the bore and the external shape of these instruments are completely cylindrical. They result from an attempt to reconstruct instruments depicted in fifteenth century paintings and engravings. This simplest of all basic forms has always appealed to me. Of unadorned appearance, and despite their limited range of one-and-a-half octaves, these instruments produce an impressively powerful and well-based tone. I supply them in two pitches in the keys of c and g. They are made of canadian maple or european fruit-tree wood. Buy here |
